ACF2 resource rule for BCPII setup fails

Issue/Introduction

Attempting to set up BCPII and extract the APPLDATA in ACF2 involves using $USERDATA in the rule.

Sample:

$KEY(HWI.TARGET.IBMZ390.ZSERVER) TYPE(FAC)
$USERDATA(BCPII)
UID(*) SERVICE(READ) ALLOW

But the EXTRACT call still fails. Why?

 

Environment

Release: ACF2 for ZOS

Resolution

The ACF2 code does not EXTRACT with SERVICE included in the rule.
Modify the rule. Remove SERVICE. This is true for all EXTRACT calls, not just BCPII related.

$KEY(HWI.TARGET.IBMZ390.ZSERVER) TYPE(FAC)
$USERDATA(BCPII)
UID(*) ALLOW
